Do you have any tips for my flight to Longreach?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Longreach holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Longreach?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Longreach before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
